A PhD position is available for candidates interested in the area of Geotechnical Engineering , University of Cambridge, UK

Offshore wind farms are becoming very popular with the UK Government’s commitment to increase wind energy to 20% by 2020. The foundations for the offshore wind farms often employ monopiles that pass through soil layers of contrasting stiffness. You will be working on a new EPSRC-funded project concerning the cyclic behaviour of monopiles that are subjected to wind and wave loading. The project involves both the development of new methodologies to characterise the soil using shear wave propagation, miniature CPT and statnamic testing. Using these, and the new 2-D actuator you will conduct a series of centrifuge tests on model monopiles in clay strata. A Postdoctoral Research Associate will also work on this project. The Geotechnical Group at Cambridge is a large vibrant group, comprised of about 35 PhDs students and 3 Post-docs, with research activity spanning most areas of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. http://www-civ.eng.cam.ac.uk/geotech_new/geotech.htm
